Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1434

Chapter 1434

Qiu Xinggong was at a loss: "Someone suggested to me earlier that they could use the rumors about Princess Changle and Fang Jun in Fangshi to make a fuss about it, so that people would think that this matter was caused by Fang Jun. Jealousy breeds hatred, so I designed to frame Shenji... but I did not agree."

Gao Shilian said: "It's right not to agree. If you agree, not only Qiu Shenji will be severely punished, but even you will have to anger His Majesty and use Princess Changle's reputation... Hehe, when His Majesty can't lift a knife or kill anyone ?”

Qiu Xinggong became more and more puzzled, since he did not agree to spread rumors, what did Gao Shilian's words mean?

Gao Shilian saw that Qiu Xinggong was still in a daze, he sneered in his heart, and said, "But now...that message has spread throughout the capital, and almost everyone in Guanzhong knows about it."

"what?!"

Qiu Xinggong turned pale with shock, and lost his voice: "How is it possible? I clearly..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief on his face!

Gao Shilian sneered: "Got it?"

Qiu Xinggong swallowed hard, and said with difficulty: "Understood..."

Gao Shilian nodded, took another sip of wine, and asked abruptly, "What conditions did the auxiliary machine promise you?"

Qiu Xinggong struggled, sometimes depressed, sometimes angry, but he was full of entanglement and hesitated to speak.

Gao Shilian didn't urge him, he drank the wine on his own, and from time to time he used a bamboo tong to pick up a few shredded gingers from the jug and chewed them in his mouth, as if enjoying the pungent smell of the shredded gingers.

Qiu Xinggong struggled for a while, then sighed dejectedly, gritted his teeth, and said: "The position of Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Gao Shilian nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Does the auxiliary machine mean that the old man, the Shangshu Youpushe, doesn't care about things anyway, and he should abdicate next year to make a good man, and Li Ji has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in the Western Regions this time. Shangshu right servant shoots, and the vacant post of Minister of War is yours?"

It really is an old fox... Qiu Xinggong nodded guiltily.

With Jiang Si in his mouth, Gao Shilian sneered and said, "It's really a good plan. It's all on the old man's head? A junior who the old man watched grow up and supported with all his strength, a nephew who pulled him up and helped him with all his strength... ...Okay, very good!"

Qiu Xinggong looked guilty and was speechless.

*****

After walking out of Shen Guogong's mansion, Qiu Xinggong understood his situation.

He thought he was proud of himself, but his eyes were covered by a layer of fog in front of him, and the truth behind the fog made him regretful and regretful.

Gao Shilian has supported him a lot, and it can be said that he is today because of Gao Shilian's great simplicity, and he is not an ungrateful person.It's just that Gao Shilian is getting older and the eldest grandson empress died early. Gao Shilian's influence on His Majesty Li Er is gradually weakening.

Under such circumstances, it seems more reasonable for Qiu Xinggong to rely on the younger grandson Wuji who has the support of the entire Guanlong Group...

According to Changsun Wuji's promise, as long as Qiu Xinggong can cooperate with the Guanlong Group to support each other in the army, so that the influence of both parties can form a new force and have the ability to influence the court situation, he will immediately promote Gao Shi Lian's official career.Once Gao Shilian became an official, only Song Guogong Xiao Yu and British Duke Li Ji were qualified to take over the vacated post of Shangshu Youpushe. The next number two is almost inevitable.

And as long as Li Jirong is promoted to Shangshu Youpushe, then the post of Minister of War will be in his pocket for Qiu Xinggong...

Qiu Xinggong felt that this deal was good, although betraying Gao Shilian caused him a major psychological and reputational blow, but at least he bought himself at a good price, so it was not a loss.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of War does not have much real power, he can occupy a dominant position in the political affairs hall. This is one of the prime ministers of the Great Tang Empire!

As a soldier, this is already the highest peak that can be reached, how can Qiu Xinggong remain indifferent?

But now, Gao Shilian's words completely shattered his dreams...

Where did Changsun Wuji want to use him to increase his influence in the army?It is clear that he is used as a target against Fang Jun, so as to attract Fang Jun's full firepower!And behind the scenes, it was Changsun Wuji who led the frantic spread of rumors that Fang Jun framed Qiu Shenji because of jealousy and hatred...

Say these messages have nothing to do with you?

All made by Changsun Wuji who has nothing to do with it?

Even a fool would not believe it.

The current situation is that Qiu Xinggong is in a dilemma. On the one hand, it will attract Fang Jun's crazy revenge firepower, on the one hand, he will be expelled from Gao Shilian's family and lose his backer, and his reputation will be greatly damaged because of "treachery" and "eating inside and outside". On the other hand, my son may not escape severe punishment...

How could it suddenly become like this?

When the spring breeze is proud, the future is ruined and the reputation is about to be ruined in the blink of an eye. This blow is really too great.

Qiu Xinggong tugged at his hair and was very distressed. He returned to the mansion and sat in a daze until dawn. His originally lustrous hair became gray overnight.

In his whole life, he has come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. He has enjoyed rich clothes, fine food, fine wine and beauties. He has all the power, status, fame and fortune. Speaking of which, even if he dies at this moment, his life will not be in vain.

However, he could not care about other things, but he couldn't care about Qiu Shenji's future!

When a fishy belly appeared in the east, Qiu Xinggong knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

Although there is no court meeting today, the ministers will still go to the Liangyi Hall to meet with His Majesty to deal with government affairs. Once His Majesty announces the punishment result of Qiu Shenji in public, it will be over.

Hastily ordered the maidservants to bring water to wait for him to wash and change clothes, and then, ignoring breakfast, he forced himself out of the gate of the mansion, took the two parts out through the just opened gate, and went straight to Chongrenfang.

When they arrived at Chongrenfang, they passed through the gate of Changsun's house and came to Fangfu not far away.

As a result, they went to the Fangfu gate to ask to see Fang Xuanling, but were told by the gatekeeper that Fang Xuanling was not living in the mansion, but recuperating in the Lishan Farm. Erlang was the only one at home. Do you want to report in?

Qiu Xinggong pondered for a while, feeling that it was still a little difficult to accept that he bowed his head in front of Fang Jun with his own status.

Then he got on his horse, left the city from Jinguangmen, crossed the Baqiao and galloped along the mountain road to Fangjia Farm...

*****

Jin Wangfu.

Jin Wang Li Zhi lifted the quilt under the urging of the maid, got up yawning, let the maid clean up for him with red face, and served him in court clothes, had breakfast, and then went out and took a carriage to Taiji Palace.

Today is the first time for him to go to Liangyi Hall to participate in political affairs for the prince, so there must be no delay.

It was also this long-coveted qualification to participate in political affairs that completely awakened the ambition of advocating power in his heart, and he was so excited in the morning.

Isn't there a saying that power is the best aphrodisiac for a man...

His Highness King Jin, who was full of confidence and ambition, got off the carriage outside the Chengtian Gate, and went straight to the Hall of Liangyi under the guidance of the servants.

The familiar scenery along the way seems to have a different charm from the past in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Jin. While experiencing this completely different experience with a brand new identity, he keeps thinking about what his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji told him yesterday afternoon. Every word and every sentence of the matter clearly emerged in my mind.

The servant reminded him in a low voice, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head, and saw the Hall of Liangyi standing in front of him...
